Key Financial Strategies, 2008
Since 2002, the City Council has annually set goals and priorities for the coming year.
The priorities are referred to as Key Financial Strategies (KFS). The KFS represent
the major projects to be undertaken over the next year.
Included are the projects we discussed at our Visioning Workshop on Saturday,
January 5th. At Monday's workshop, we will continue to discuss ideas for 2008 and
will be adding to our list.
Although staff helps to compile this spreadsheet, the City Council decides which items
will become Key Financial Strategies. Each council member assigns a ranking to each
item. The rankings are averaged, and based on these averages the Council will select
the KFS for 2008.
Following is the schedule for setting the 2008 KFS:
Saturday, January 5th
Staff presented suggested KFS to City Council
City Council brainstormed additional KFS suggestions
City Council further discusses KFS list
Final suggestions for KFS list due to Assistant City
Manager
City Council receives electronic spreadsheet for
rahkings
KFS Rankings due to Assistant City Manager
Staff presents compiled rankings, City Council finalizes
2008 KFS.
